How Do I Implement a 'Mouse Double Click' for a ListBox

Implementing a "mouse double click" event for a ListBox typically involves subscribing to the ListBox's MouseDoubleClick event and specifying the action you want to perform when the event occurs. Here's a general outline of how you can achieve this in C#.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace YourNamespace
{
    public partial class YourForm : Form
    {
        public YourForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            // Subscribe to the MouseDoubleClick event of the ListBox
            yourListBox.MouseDoubleClick += YourListBox_MouseDoubleClick;
        }

        // Event handler for MouseDoubleClick event
        private void YourListBox_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            // Get the index of the item that was double-clicked
            int selectedIndex = yourListBox.IndexFromPoint(e.Location);

            // Ensure an item was actually double-clicked and it's a valid index
            if (selectedIndex != ListBox.NoMatches && selectedIndex < yourListBox.Items.Count)
            {
                // Perform your desired action here, e.g., retrieve the double-clicked item
                object selectedItem = yourListBox.Items[selectedIndex];

                // Example: Display a message with the double-clicked item
                MessageBox.Show($"You double-clicked: {selectedItem.ToString()}");
            }
        }
    }
}

C#

Copy

In this example

1. We subscribe to the MouseDoubleClick event of the ListBox yourListBox in the constructor of your form.
2. In the event handler YourListBox_MouseDoubleClick, we first determine the index of the item that was double-clicked using the IndexFromPoint method.
3. If a valid item is double-clicked, we perform the desired action. In this example, we display a message box showing the double-clicked item.

Make sure to replace YourNamespace, YourForm, and yourListBox with the appropriate names in your code. Additionally, customize the action inside the event handler to suit your specific requirements.
